Giannis Antetokounmpo Might Be Traded Soon… · Kenny For Real

0:00
Speaker 1: Is Janni's getting traded soon? I don't know. We're gonna
0:03
Speaker 1: talk about it. Yesterday, Sham Sharania came out with report
0:06
Speaker 1: that Yannis and his agent have started conversations with the
0:09
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks about Giannis's future and discussing whether his best
0:12
Speaker 1: fit is staying Milwaukee or going elsewhere, and the resolution
0:15
Speaker 1: is expected in the next coming weeks. Boom, this tree
0:18
Speaker 1: comes out. He's got fifty thousand likes. Everybody in the
0:21
Speaker 1: NBA universe is like, man, what teams could Yiannis go to? YadA, YadA, YadA.
0:27
Speaker 1: But this is not potentially new, you know what I mean.
0:31
Speaker 1: Sean Sharania has reported this exact thing for like eight
0:35
Speaker 1: months now, and I waited for the article to come out,
0:38
Speaker 1: and the article came out, and the only thing that
0:39
Speaker 1: I feel like I didn't know or something that he
0:41
Speaker 1: has not reported just yet, is that Yiannis allegedly wanted
0:44
Speaker 1: to see the first twenty five games from the Bucks
0:46
Speaker 1: before making his big decision. But everything else is the same.
0:50
Speaker 1: I mean, it's cool to get to talk again about
0:53
Speaker 1: a great player potentially going to his next team, but
0:55
Speaker 1: it was like, I don't know, We've been here before,
0:57
Speaker 1: and maybe the fact that the Milwaukee Bucks have not
0:59
Speaker 1: really been good. You know, started off pretty good with
1:01
Speaker 1: Gianni's and he missed a couple games and they lost
1:03
Speaker 1: all of those games, and he came back and it
1:05
Speaker 1: continued to lose a little bit. Maybe that is the
1:07
Speaker 1: reason to spark these conversations. Back up, we are closer
1:10
Speaker 1: that twenty five game mark. But all I'm saying is like,
1:12
Speaker 1: it's nothing too I don't know crazy. I'll be more
1:15
Speaker 1: excited if it was like an official trade request or
1:18
Speaker 1: the exact opposite of that, you know, shutting the door
1:20
Speaker 1: on a potential thing. It's a weird spot to be
1:22
Speaker 1: because I've always been a team Janna says, a Milwaukee guy.
1:25
Speaker 1: But I can't fault him if the case is that
1:27
Speaker 1: he wants to request the trade. You know, the front
1:29
Speaker 1: office has made a lot of moves in his tenure.
1:31
Speaker 1: It is just unfortunate that Giannis has had injuries in
1:34
Speaker 1: the postseason. Chris Middleton had a big injury in the
1:36
Speaker 1: postseason that since they won the championship, they've been relatively
1:39
Speaker 1: unhealthy when it comes to health now, It's been a
1:41
Speaker 1: case for a lot of different teams, right, but this
1:43
Speaker 1: team has never been able to again since that championship
1:45
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one reached the pinnacle again, Gianics con
1:48
Speaker 1: teased to be a guy that tells you time in
1:50
Speaker 1: time out that he wants to win championships. He wants
1:52
Speaker 1: to win championships. And you look at that Bucks roster.
1:54
Speaker 1: I look at that Bucks roster. We know that they're
1:56
Speaker 1: not a championship contender. Even with Joanna's. The East is open, sure,
1:59
Speaker 1: but like you have to get through the East and
2:01
Speaker 1: then beat the OKC Thunder or then beat the Different Nuggets,
2:04
Speaker 1: or then beat whatever team comes out of there. And
2:06
Speaker 1: even if you do find your way into the finals,
2:09
Speaker 1: you obviously have a chance because you're there. But I
2:11
Speaker 1: don't know many teams. It's gonna be like, oh many
2:13
Speaker 1: people that think that that team would be good enough
2:15
Speaker 1: to beat the OKC Thunder. So the championship window, at
2:17
Speaker 1: least it's currently constructed. It's close, and maybe that's enough
2:20
Speaker 1: for Gianni's to officially want out. But the problem with
2:23
Speaker 1: this all or one of the problems is that Giannis
2:25
Speaker 1: continues to have this one foot in, one fit out
2:29
Speaker 1: as far as his media perception. Obviously, he himself has
2:32
Speaker 1: been committed to the organization. But it feels very similar
2:35
Speaker 1: to his old teammate and Damian Lillard. When Dame was
2:37
Speaker 1: in Portland, where everybody in fandom recognizes that the team
2:41
Speaker 1: built around you it's just not good enough. And you
2:43
Speaker 1: look at your watch, you say time is kind of taken.
2:46
Speaker 1: And you're in your thirties right now. Can you afford
2:49
Speaker 1: to wait for the Milwaukee Bucks to get to twenty
2:51
Speaker 1: twenty seven or get to twenty twenty eight where they
2:53
Speaker 1: could potentially make bigger moves to make a move around you.
2:56
Speaker 1: It's like, maybe you don't, but these guys him when
3:00
Speaker 1: he was in Portland spent a decade plus within the organization,
3:03
Speaker 1: and his is different than day because he was at
3:06
Speaker 1: the top. He got the MVPs, he's got the championship,
3:09
Speaker 1: so I can recognize that. Even if there's a part
3:12
Speaker 1: of his brain that says, yeah, man, we should try
3:14
Speaker 1: to make our way to New York. Yeah, man, we
3:15
Speaker 1: should try to make our way to this team, part
3:17
Speaker 1: of him is like, man, I've been in Milwaukee since
3:20
Speaker 1: the day I stepped foot in America. It's a tough
3:23
Speaker 1: relationship to end. On a very smaller scale, if I
3:26
Speaker 1: wanted to get personal here, me and my boys, who
3:29
Speaker 1: were House of Highlights for what seven six years? When
3:31
Speaker 1: we had to walk away from House to Highlights, bro
3:33
Speaker 1: I literally was in the conversation or the zoom because
3:36
Speaker 1: this was like pandemic era. I'm in the zoom with
3:38
Speaker 1: the higher ups at Hoahs and I'm like, I'm literally crying.
3:41
Speaker 1: I know that the opportunity that I'm going to is
3:43
Speaker 1: better for me, But I have built these relationships and
3:47
Speaker 1: helped grow this team over here. And that's a small
3:49
Speaker 1: scale compared to Jannis, who's not just a fixture for
3:52
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks, but Milwaukee as a whole, as a city.
3:55
Speaker 1: So I can understand potentially being on the fence or
3:57
Speaker 1: one footing in a one foot out. Yesterday, they get injured.
4:00
Speaker 1: He's gonna be out for two to four and they
4:03
Speaker 1: got a huge win against a really good Pissons team.
4:06
Speaker 1: So that's that's good for morale and everything. But if
4:08
Speaker 1: I had to guess over that two to four weeks
4:10
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be out, I would assume that they're
4:12
Speaker 1: not gonna see many wins. So Yiannis comes back, and
4:15
Speaker 1: let's say it's the ladder in It's it's four weeks
4:17
Speaker 1: from now and he's looking around and say, hey man,
4:19
Speaker 1: we are right now to twelfth seed. We're seven games
4:22
Speaker 1: under five hundred. Is that enough? Do I think that
4:25
Speaker 1: there's something that I can do personally to not just
4:27
Speaker 1: get us into the playoffs, but get us to contentent
4:29
Speaker 1: and likelihood that is it's pretty low. Let's talk about
4:32
Speaker 1: a potential Yanni's trade. There's an article that br put
4:35
Speaker 1: together that we will look at later in the video,
4:38
Speaker 1: but I kind of want to talk about I guess
4:41
Speaker 1: the value of Giannis and how that may shift considering
4:44
Speaker 1: we're in twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six. Well, I
4:47
Speaker 1: think that the ninth man, the tenth man, the eighth man,
4:51
Speaker 1: and the lineup are extremely important. With the way the
4:54
Speaker 1: NBA currently is, every single team is beat up every
4:57
Speaker 1: single night, and having good depth, even if it's not
5:01
Speaker 1: a maz up depth, having good depth is extremely important
5:03
Speaker 1: to being a competitive team. The team that is at
5:06
Speaker 1: the top of the league. Again, this is maybe a
5:08
Speaker 1: different circumstance because they are just that crazy Miss j
5:11
Speaker 1: Duff for the majority of this run, Miss Iharfers. They
5:14
Speaker 1: just always have somebody out, and because they are one
5:17
Speaker 1: of the deepest teams in the league. It's like, Okay,
5:18
Speaker 1: this guy didn't even play last week, We're gonna throw
5:20
Speaker 1: them into the lineup and that's beneficial. Even the team
5:23
Speaker 1: on the opposite side that the Eastern Conference, they had
5:26
Speaker 1: Kate Cunningham go down for three to four games and
5:28
Speaker 1: they just had a two way Dennis Jenkions come in
5:30
Speaker 1: and play necessary minutes. It's not the era anymore where
5:34
Speaker 1: the last two guys in your rotation can be bad
5:35
Speaker 1: NBA players because the top is so good. That's no
5:37
Speaker 1: longer the case. We're not talking about twenty twelve, twenty
5:40
Speaker 1: thirteen Mimi Heat where the top guys are great that
5:42
Speaker 1: you get to that bitch, he's like, oh, you can't
5:44
Speaker 1: win that way anymore. So in order to trade for Giannis,
5:46
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, you have to trade away
5:49
Speaker 1: a lot of the depth to acquire him. It's also
5:53
Speaker 1: the back piece. It's like, Hey, the team that's acquiring him,
5:56
Speaker 1: if he does get traded, are you doing it for
5:58
Speaker 1: the now? Are you doing it for the future, Because again,
6:00
Speaker 1: a lot of teams that could acquire him are going
6:02
Speaker 1: to have to gut their team and even acquire him.
6:05
Speaker 1: Do you feel like that team can compete with OKC.
6:08
Speaker 1: I hate to always have to end up this way,
6:11
Speaker 1: but I think that I remember this is when Kevin
6:15
Speaker 1: Durant ends up in with the Golden State Wars. If
6:18
Speaker 1: y'all remember, there was not a ton of big moves
6:21
Speaker 1: happening in that time when KAD was there, because the
6:24
Speaker 1: rest of the world, the rest of the league recognized
6:26
Speaker 1: if I've made a win down trade, it literally does
6:28
Speaker 1: not matter because that team is almost unstoppable. I say
6:30
Speaker 1: almost because Houston did take them a seven. That team
6:33
Speaker 1: is almost unstoppable. So how about we just wait Kevin
6:35
Speaker 1: Urrant and I go BETFLA and he wasn't and then
6:37
Speaker 1: eventually you saw teams open up. Boom, the league is open.
6:39
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do some stuff. I don't know if we're
6:41
Speaker 1: building tourts of dynasty, because again, you have to win
6:43
Speaker 1: more than one for us to really consider you a dynasty.
6:45
Speaker 1: But I could see again in the back of the
6:47
Speaker 1: mind some of these general managers making a win now
6:49
Speaker 1: move right now can maybe help us win an extra
6:52
Speaker 1: playoff series, but as far as winning the actual championship,
6:55
Speaker 1: it may not be the case. And again, OKAC still
6:56
Speaker 1: has to prove to be a dynasty but that has
6:58
Speaker 1: to be something you think about why some of my
7:00
Speaker 1: favorite potential Yanni's trade opportunities is not a team that
7:05
Speaker 1: feels like they have to give up everything as far
7:08
Speaker 1: as the on court stuff and still be able to
7:10
Speaker 1: build for the two years to three years down the line.
7:13
Speaker 1: Some of the trades that was send to me about Gianni's,
7:16
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, obviously that's a very good trade package
7:19
Speaker 1: to get back in return for Gianni's. But the team
7:21
Speaker 1: that's making the trade now we have our current star
7:23
Speaker 1: player Gianni's and just some stuff and like that stuff
7:26
Speaker 1: is not good. So it is something that you have
7:28
Speaker 1: to kind of figure out. Also wonder that in a
7:32
Speaker 1: hypothetical Yanni's trade, I don't know what the horse team
7:36
Speaker 1: would prioritize. Are they prioritized on court young talent? Are
7:40
Speaker 1: they prioritize freutures draft picks? Because there are some teams
7:44
Speaker 1: that could give you a few big contracts and in
7:46
Speaker 1: all of the future first round picks, and then you
7:48
Speaker 1: don't really care about gutting your team because you just
7:50
Speaker 1: gave them the picks instead. And in the second aprin Era,
7:53
Speaker 1: you need a bunch of mid tier two rookie skilled
7:57
Speaker 1: deals to have sustainable growth and have sustainable you know,
8:00
Speaker 1: five years of this team currently existed. It just makes
8:03
Speaker 1: it objectively harder to make the superstar trade, specifically in season. Now,
8:08
Speaker 1: if we rate into the offseason to make the trade,
8:10
Speaker 1: it's so much easier. I could trade away for players
8:12
Speaker 1: to get Jannis because I'm aout to hit free agency,
8:13
Speaker 1: and though I'm bringing in that big old contract of
8:15
Speaker 1: fifty plus million dollars, I have an opportunity to just
8:18
Speaker 1: go out there assigned to people free agency for the
8:20
Speaker 1: low low, and I can build a team, but patching
8:23
Speaker 1: it together while I'm trading away four players right now
8:25
Speaker 1: for Gianni's and some change just may not be enough.
8:27
Speaker 1: There are a few teams that make this potential Gianna
8:30
Speaker 1: saying very intriguing because the Bucks don't have their own
8:33
Speaker 1: first round picks at least for the next couple of years,
8:35
Speaker 1: and some of the teams that do have their their
8:37
Speaker 1: Bucks picks could be teams potentially that's in the Gianna sweepsticks.
8:41
Speaker 1: And there was a report and I remember if it's
8:43
Speaker 1: from Shan's or somebody adjacent, that said everybody's not gonna
8:46
Speaker 1: be in the Ianna sweepstakes. This is not gonna be
8:48
Speaker 1: a Kawhi Lennard situation where Kawhi Leonard didn't want to
8:50
Speaker 1: go to Toronto, but I don't care. I want to
8:52
Speaker 1: do what's best for my team, even if it wasn't
8:54
Speaker 1: the best for the team, and we're gonna trade you
8:55
Speaker 1: to the highest bidder. It's not gonna be like Dame
8:57
Speaker 1: didn't want to go to Milwaukee, right, but they traded
8:59
Speaker 1: him a team that they felt like they got adequate
9:01
Speaker 1: value for. From this report, Jan's is gonna have a list,
9:05
Speaker 1: and if he is traded, we gonna do our best
9:07
Speaker 1: to make sure our goat gets to his feature team.
9:10
Speaker 1: That closes the door on a lot of the value
9:12
Speaker 1: because if that list gets public, hypothetically Janni's has narrowed
9:16
Speaker 1: it down to four different teams. Even though you are
9:20
Speaker 1: trading the best player in the trade, you've lost a
9:22
Speaker 1: ton of the leverage that you would have in it. Right,
9:25
Speaker 1: If we know it's four teams and two of the
9:27
Speaker 1: let's be real, I don't think Jannas knows about the CBA.
9:29
Speaker 1: I don't think he knows the in's and now at
9:31
Speaker 1: a secondighbor, Hell, we don't know either. If two of
9:33
Speaker 1: those teams literally can't make the deal, and it's between
9:35
Speaker 1: us and them. I knowed our our package is gonna
9:37
Speaker 1: be better than there, so we don't have to give
9:38
Speaker 1: you everything. That's really fine. So I want to go
9:41
Speaker 1: through some of these trades that the br articles put together.
9:43
Speaker 1: I have not even looked at this. It actually just
9:44
Speaker 1: got sent to me like three minutes before I hit record.
9:47
Speaker 1: So less react to thees together because I think here's
9:50
Speaker 1: my favorite suitors, the Atlanta Hawks. Atlanta Hawks have that
9:54
Speaker 1: Pelicans Milwaukee swap right a part of the Dear Queen trade,
9:57
Speaker 1: and that opens up an opportunity for the Milwaukee Bucks
10:00
Speaker 1: to own their own destiny. If I'm not mistaken, there's
10:03
Speaker 1: another team with with with some of the I think
10:06
Speaker 1: Portland has some of the has some of the Milwaukee
10:10
Speaker 1: Bucks picks. I just don't see the fit there in Portland.
10:12
Speaker 1: I think it's too early for them to try to
10:13
Speaker 1: make that. But maybe it's like a I don't know,
10:15
Speaker 1: Portland seems like a team that's trying to compete. I
10:17
Speaker 1: would say, so maybe it's a big Old three team,
10:20
Speaker 1: or where Portland gets something, we acquire our own picks,
10:24
Speaker 1: we throw Giannis to a third I don't know. I
10:25
Speaker 1: don't know, but if I'm the Bucks, I kind of
10:27
Speaker 1: want to hold my own destiny. It's it's nothing worse
10:29
Speaker 1: to try to do a rebuild when you don't have
10:31
Speaker 1: your own pick. This just makes it objectively harder. Some
10:33
Speaker 1: teams have been able to do it successfully, but it's
10:35
Speaker 1: a tough place to be, all right. I see what
10:37
Speaker 1: Andy Bailey cooked up. So there's the report. The first
10:41
Speaker 1: one is to the Lakers. So in this this this
10:46
Speaker 1: is a team that in theory can make a trade.
10:48
Speaker 1: They can make a Giana's trade happen, and just in theory,
10:50
Speaker 1: they're like the contract stuff. But it is one of
10:52
Speaker 1: those things that, if I'm thinking about it, would have
10:54
Speaker 1: to cut a lot of their rotation. Now, I mean
10:56
Speaker 1: jare Vendibit's kind of not playing now that Lebron James
10:58
Speaker 1: is here, Matt is not I mean, Dalton is not playing.
11:02
Speaker 1: Maxie plays a little bit gay vinced, Like really, you
11:04
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, if I'm trading my franchise goats,
11:06
Speaker 1: I'm not getting any a tier B Tierhill even see Tierhill,
11:09
Speaker 1: even D tier talent back. I just don't think the
11:12
Speaker 1: Bucks would want to do this. It would be crazy
11:15
Speaker 1: if Rob Palnka could do it again, but I highly
11:18
Speaker 1: doubt it. Rui Va, It's just not enough. And if
11:21
Speaker 1: you're telling me that I'm getting the twenty thirty two
11:23
Speaker 1: or twenty thirty one, but I'm throwing the team with
11:26
Speaker 1: Luca and Giannis on it, those picks are not valuable
11:28
Speaker 1: to me because both of these guys can single handedly
11:31
Speaker 1: bring your team to the playoffs. So one of them
11:33
Speaker 1: goes down in these years, It's not like we're about
11:35
Speaker 1: to get a free lottery pick. This is an awful
11:37
Speaker 1: off of trade. The only reason this trade exists in
11:39
Speaker 1: this article is because the Lakers. It's literally it. If
11:42
Speaker 1: this team wasn't Lakers, but instead it said I don't
11:45
Speaker 1: know Pelicans on Lucas Jersey. No way in hell you
11:47
Speaker 1: would put this on the table. This trade package is trash.
11:50
Speaker 1: Next we move on to the Alanta Hawks, so this
11:53
Speaker 1: is this is the team now. The question with the Hawks,
11:55
Speaker 1: before I even see the trade is there's a few
11:59
Speaker 1: prospects that if you are a the Milwaukee Bucks and
12:01
Speaker 1: you're trading away Yanna's, you would want. If I'm trading
12:04
Speaker 1: away Yannas to the Hawks, I'm inquiring and wanting Jalen Johnson.
12:09
Speaker 1: The reality is the Atlanta Hawks are probably not trading
12:11
Speaker 1: away Jayalen Johnson. The question is do we feel like
12:14
Speaker 1: Jayalen Johnson and Giannis can coexist considering their play styles.
12:17
Speaker 1: But that is a place that I am starting. If
12:19
Speaker 1: I am the Atlanta the Milwaukee Bucks, another team like
12:22
Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs, I am starting with Dylan Harper.
12:25
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'd be willing to trade him
12:27
Speaker 1: away as a former number two overall pick. That all
12:29
Speaker 1: already looks pretty good, But I am starting there and
12:32
Speaker 1: we'll work our way. So let's see exactly what they're doing.
12:34
Speaker 1: It looks like because Trey Young's and the thumbnail he
12:37
Speaker 1: is the guy. If Trey Young is rees, I say,
12:40
Speaker 1: it's that pick that we mentioned earlier far to their
12:42
Speaker 1: coin trade, and then two extra picks from twenty twenty
12:44
Speaker 1: eight and twenty thirty. So this is one of the
12:46
Speaker 1: rare ones where the Atlanta Hawks are not gutting their
12:50
Speaker 1: team in order to make it happen. Trey Young obviously
12:52
Speaker 1: has not played in quite some time, and they look
12:53
Speaker 1: pretty good without him. It does leaves a huge hole
12:56
Speaker 1: in like the point guard position. It does change some
13:00
Speaker 1: they're spacing if it's gonna be Jayleen Johnson and Giannis
13:02
Speaker 1: on the course together, even though Jalen Johnson has become
13:04
Speaker 1: increasingly more confident in his three point shot. Reez, I say,
13:07
Speaker 1: is a former first overall pick, but not in the
13:09
Speaker 1: same way that Win binyamaor goop of flag is. It's interesting,
13:12
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I just as a thirty one
13:14
Speaker 1: year he's soon to be thirty two year. I think
13:17
Speaker 1: this week, I just I don't know. Maybe I'm just
13:19
Speaker 1: overvaluing Gianni's Is that crazy? Is there such thing's overvaluing Giannis?
13:22
Speaker 1: He's Giannis. He's a top three player right now, top four,
13:25
Speaker 1: top three, top four? Where y'all where y'all staying with
13:27
Speaker 1: the with the Giannis ranking, it says he Jalen Johnson,
13:32
Speaker 1: Dyson Daniels would make for a genuinely terrified group of
13:35
Speaker 1: defenders two through four. That is true. They could play
13:37
Speaker 1: with Christas Zegis. Can they gonna or small jumbo small
13:42
Speaker 1: ball front line. I think they lack shooting. That's a
13:45
Speaker 1: scary team, don't get me wrong, but they still would
13:47
Speaker 1: have many many holes in that team. Next we get
13:50
Speaker 1: to the Knicks, which is again what rumor to be
13:53
Speaker 1: his preferred destination. The Knicks are Let's see, if the
13:56
Speaker 1: trade is Knicks are interesting, it's Karl Anthony Towns, Miles
13:59
Speaker 1: mc bride, comb Becomb Daddy a three swaps one wa
14:06
Speaker 1: wa war first round swaps in six eight thirty, so
14:11
Speaker 1: they don't even get like a true first it's just
14:13
Speaker 1: literally swaps. This is what I mean, By the way,
14:16
Speaker 1: if Jannis has a short group that is public, you
14:21
Speaker 1: may not get the full value of j Honest. If
14:23
Speaker 1: Jannis is trade me to New York and no other place,
14:26
Speaker 1: and you, as John Horse, it's like I we got
14:29
Speaker 1: he say you want to go to New York and
14:30
Speaker 1: you don't even think about this might be the type
14:32
Speaker 1: of trade you get. This trade stinks, y'all. This trade stinks.
14:35
Speaker 1: And honestly, I didn't even know they could do this.
14:37
Speaker 1: I thought they were a second a Prin team. Maybe
14:39
Speaker 1: they're not because of the Jalen Brunson cut. I didn't
14:43
Speaker 1: even know they could package together three players. This trade
14:46
Speaker 1: is awful, But again it's the preferred destination for Yannis,
14:49
Speaker 1: so maybe it's what they have to settle for. I mean,
14:52
Speaker 1: maybe you just try to trade cardonaltells to another team,
14:55
Speaker 1: But what team wants that contract that makes you feel
14:58
Speaker 1: like you're getting good capital for this? I think this
15:01
Speaker 1: trade sets back the Bucks way more than any of
15:06
Speaker 1: the other one. Well, I mean that Lakers trade is
15:08
Speaker 1: pretty bad too, regardless of you're turning, you're seting your
15:11
Speaker 1: franchise back. Gonna get me wrong. But some of the
15:12
Speaker 1: other ones, like, Okay, we got some good draft capital return,
15:15
Speaker 1: maybe we get lucky, maybe we get a top five
15:17
Speaker 1: pick out of it. There's not really room for them
15:19
Speaker 1: to have a top pop five pick in this at all. Right,
15:23
Speaker 1: what's the likelihood that next year's next team, I'm sorry,
15:25
Speaker 1: this year's nixt team post this trade is good pretty
15:28
Speaker 1: pretty high. What's the likelihood that two years now they're
15:31
Speaker 1: gonna be good pretty high? You know, like, it's just
15:33
Speaker 1: it's not it. It's not it. It's not it. Next one,
15:36
Speaker 1: we got the Spurs. So this is the one that
15:39
Speaker 1: you figure out, is it? Harper is a castle, they
15:43
Speaker 1: say giannas at the Nastas because the nasist has to
15:45
Speaker 1: go wherever he go. Let's be real for Devivasel, Keldon Johnson,
15:49
Speaker 1: Dylan Harper a first round pick and okay, so two
15:52
Speaker 1: first round picks. Now this one is a little bit
15:55
Speaker 1: more interesting because you're getting that blue chip prospect in
15:58
Speaker 1: Dylan Harper. Right, it's interesting. I saw a tweet from
16:03
Speaker 1: Spurs fan and with semi Byrul that said, you get
16:05
Speaker 1: on that phone and the first name you mentioned is
16:07
Speaker 1: Zilla Harper. You hang up the fall and that's that's
16:10
Speaker 1: crazy to me. But I understand it. I understand it.
16:12
Speaker 1: I think they'll Harper could be a legit star in
16:14
Speaker 1: this league. And the interesting part for the Spurs team
16:16
Speaker 1: building aspect, I put it on the same level of football,
16:22
Speaker 1: where whether it's for better or for worse. I'm not
16:25
Speaker 1: even a huge football guy, but look at me making
16:27
Speaker 1: a football comparison. A lot of the teams more recently
16:31
Speaker 1: have been trying to buy in as much as they
16:33
Speaker 1: can while they have a rookie scale quarterback and spending
16:36
Speaker 1: money on other places, right, And sometimes it's hurt because
16:40
Speaker 1: some quarterbacks are just not ready to be good and
16:42
Speaker 1: they teams are buying in when they're almost said freshman,
16:44
Speaker 1: a rookie or sophomore year player. This is a similar
16:48
Speaker 1: version of that. It was like Whimpy is still on
16:49
Speaker 1: his rookie scale deal you ain't eve thinking about his
16:51
Speaker 1: sustensions just yet. So we now bring in two max
16:53
Speaker 1: players alongside him and Dean Fox and Giannis and try
16:56
Speaker 1: to compete while Winby is on his rookie scale and
16:59
Speaker 1: his rookie skial is different nother rookie scales because his
17:01
Speaker 1: rookie scale, he's still like a top seventh player in
17:03
Speaker 1: the league on rookie scale. So it's interesting because that
17:07
Speaker 1: really makes you feel like you have a chance. To
17:10
Speaker 1: day you look at that team and say, hey, it's Fox,
17:13
Speaker 1: it's Castle. You gave up a sale here, so it's
17:16
Speaker 1: Hb's Giannis and his Wimby, And then the bench is
17:19
Speaker 1: gonna be so high, I guess, uh coordinate is still
17:22
Speaker 1: there some other guys that are gonna contribute. We're going
17:25
Speaker 1: to a seven versus Okac. Do we win that this year?
17:27
Speaker 1: Do we win it next year? Because that's conversations. At
17:29
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the Spurs are trying to
17:31
Speaker 1: win championships. That's what this has been about. Do you
17:33
Speaker 1: believe that the ceiling of a Yanni's Wimby team is
17:36
Speaker 1: higher than what a ceiling of a Harper Winby team
17:39
Speaker 1: will be? Do you do you look at it and to
17:42
Speaker 1: say the timeline for OKC is a little bit farther
17:45
Speaker 1: down when Dylan Harpy comes in this prime and maybe
17:46
Speaker 1: we are the next OKAC thunder with this young team.
17:50
Speaker 1: This is why I can't be a real life front
17:53
Speaker 1: office guy. I love doing trades on PlayStation because there's
17:56
Speaker 1: no stakes. There's real life stakes in this. I'm happy.
17:59
Speaker 1: I ain't gotta be want to make the decision because
18:00
Speaker 1: I could see it either of the two ways the
18:02
Speaker 1: last trade they put together. So this is what I'm
18:05
Speaker 1: talking about, with them getting their own picks, don't I
18:07
Speaker 1: hate this fit. By the way, it's Jeremy Grant's Robert Williams,
18:11
Speaker 1: it's School Henderson, which he's not a bluechip prospect, but
18:14
Speaker 1: he's a prospect. Nonetheless, it's been Walkee getting back their
18:17
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, they're twenty thirty and then an extra
18:19
Speaker 1: first round pick. I hate the fit for Giannis. It's like, hey, Dane,
18:27
Speaker 1: remember we played together, Keep me try it again. So
18:31
Speaker 1: that would leave them going into next season with Dave Shadon, Sharp,
18:36
Speaker 1: Denny Jannis, and Klingett. That's a better five than the
18:40
Speaker 1: Bucks version of Dame and Giannis. Assuming Dame comes back
18:43
Speaker 1: and he's still pretty good. Yeah, I don't know if
18:46
Speaker 1: I'll ever see a Yanna's trade and be like, yup,
18:49
Speaker 1: that's the one that makes the most sense. I've also
18:50
Speaker 1: been seeing a lot of maybe not pieces because people
18:53
Speaker 1: haven't written articles as far as I know, but saying
18:56
Speaker 1: that the Milwaukee Bucks failed Gianni's and I just don't
18:59
Speaker 1: under understand how we can come to that conclusion. Obviously,
19:03
Speaker 1: the current team is not good. It's obviously it's not
19:06
Speaker 1: good enough to win. At least it's not good enough
19:08
Speaker 1: to win. But you have to remember what the end
19:09
Speaker 1: goal always is. It's a championship. And they traded for Drew,
19:15
Speaker 1: they traded for this, they traded for p They tuck
19:19
Speaker 1: and they got the one a franchise that they did.
19:22
Speaker 1: They get one in the seventies with Kareem they did.
19:25
Speaker 1: They got winning seventy one. So a championship of a
19:29
Speaker 1: team that's got two championships total and one of them
19:31
Speaker 1: being before edition was even televised on TV. They did
19:36
Speaker 1: the ultimate thing. And this is the same conversation I've
19:40
Speaker 1: had about Luca about a shade about a Yokic. When
19:46
Speaker 1: you have one of the top players in the world
19:48
Speaker 1: in their prime. In my opinion, you have to do
19:51
Speaker 1: everything in your power to construct a great team around them,
19:55
Speaker 1: even if that means that by the end of it
19:57
Speaker 1: it does not look good. Right. We knew that when
20:00
Speaker 1: they made the trades to build the team to win
20:02
Speaker 1: that championship. We knew that those picks were far down
20:04
Speaker 1: the line. We didn't care because we saw it as
20:06
Speaker 1: an opportunity for Yiannis to win, and they did that.
20:09
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with Yokic right now. I was like,
20:11
Speaker 1: they traded away a twenty thirty first round pick. Yes, yes,
20:14
Speaker 1: they have the best player. We're on the team right now.
20:16
Speaker 1: Who gives a damn about what's happened in twenty thirty.
20:18
Speaker 1: We have a chance to win to date, in twenty thirty,
20:21
Speaker 1: he may not even be on team. He may an't
20:23
Speaker 1: be in the league. It's Jokic. So I don't think
20:26
Speaker 1: they failed. I think, of course, every front office has
20:29
Speaker 1: lost trades, one trades, YadA, YadA, yadam. But I don't
20:32
Speaker 1: know how they would have been able to build a
20:34
Speaker 1: championship level team or also keeping sustainability for the long run.
20:39
Speaker 1: It's just rare. Think about the teams that have won
20:42
Speaker 1: championships over the last couple of seasons. Okay, see, he
20:44
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to do it because their team was
20:46
Speaker 1: the youngest team to ever win. The Boston Celtics won
20:49
Speaker 1: their championship and then had to flip half of their
20:51
Speaker 1: roster because of the CBA. The different Nuggets won that
20:54
Speaker 1: championship have been fighting back to get there and again
20:56
Speaker 1: just made a big time trade and bringing in Cam
20:58
Speaker 1: Johnson for different various various success levels to do the
21:03
Speaker 1: thing to try to get back into that situation. The
21:05
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors won THEIRS and then had to flip
21:08
Speaker 1: their roster too. Clay Toms had to be gone just
21:09
Speaker 1: a year after that. So it's just it's hard to
21:12
Speaker 1: build a sustainably great championship team nowadays. So you get
21:16
Speaker 1: yours and you worry about the next step when you
21:19
Speaker 1: get to the next step. And they tried. They brought
21:22
Speaker 1: in Damian Lillard. Didn't work, whether it be because of
21:24
Speaker 1: injury or because of the fit, or because of the coaching,
21:27
Speaker 1: because of whatever, it didn't work. And then they still
21:29
Speaker 1: trying to please Gianni. It's by flipping Damian Leonards a
21:31
Speaker 1: mouse turner, which was crazy, but like that's the best
21:33
Speaker 1: they could have done. So I could not get to
21:35
Speaker 1: the point to say that the Milwakee Bucks had failed
21:37
Speaker 1: Gianna's He has a championship, and before he got that championship,
21:43
Speaker 1: there was conversation about Ken a god like Jianna's win.
21:46
Speaker 1: He did. He's one of the greatest players of all time. Anyway,
21:52
Speaker 1: let me know what you think about this whole Gianna's
21:53
Speaker 1: trade situation. I'm excited to read the comments because some
21:56
Speaker 1: of those straights are interesting. Some of them off
